247 - The Public Prosecutor's Office has asked the courts to order the reimbursement of R$ 1,1 billion to public coffers from those investigated in the Alstom bribery case. Among the main defendants is Robson Marinho, a member of the Court of Auditors of the State of São Paulo and Chief of Staff for Mario Covas (PSDB).
The Public Prosecutor's Office also filed its first lawsuit against Marinho. He is accused of receiving bribes from Alstom. The Swiss court attributed to him an account in the British Virgin Islands, in the Caribbean, which received payments from the French multinational totaling US$2,7 million between 1998 and 2005.
According to the Public Prosecutor's Office, the money was allegedly a bribe paid to win a tender worth R$ 23,2 million. The service provided was the supply of equipment for three electrical substations belonging to Eletropaulo and EPTE.
Prosecutors Silvio Marques, José Carlos Blat, and Marcelo Daneluzzi also requested that the defendants be sentenced to the loss of their public office and political rights.
They also requested that the companies Alstom, Cegelec (part of the Alstom group), and Aqualux be shut down or prohibited from signing contracts with the government.
